One of the henchmen dismounted and proceeded to examine the car. } There followed a rapid Jargon of speech between' the riders. Presently two of them uncoiled ropes and attached the ends to the automobile's bumper. It was quite evident that they planned to tow the thing away, and the Garrisons were congratulating themselves on escaping with their lives, when the leader Signed to them to enter the vehicle. 1 Mrs. Garrison shrieked and clung to her husband.

People want change. Our bodies are constantly undergoing changes. Every seven years we are told that we have a new body, even though we are unmindful that the process is going on. We are not conscious of the physical changes because of the permanent element in personality; that element is Love. The objects upon which love is centered may change, but not love itself. A mother's love today is the same as it was centuries ago when it was so wisely tested by Solomon. The loyalty of the family relationship is the same today as when Ruth pledged, her filial devotion to Naomi. No, love does not change, but its modes of expression and the objects upon which love is bestowed may change. ,Love is the only permanent thing in the world.
